  1. 39 Norma 22/250 brass. once fired. needs full length sizing and tumbling as it looks like its been cleaned in a sonic cleaner and turned the brass dull.

    £20 can post at buyers cost.

     

    90 Winchester nickel cases in 22/250. once fired. again needs cleaning full length sizing. £25 post extra.

  2. Hi Jamie I tried these in my old .22/250 tikka 595 that was a 1 in 14 twist and they shot sub half inch groups sent at 3300+ fps, shot roe with them and they performed

    ok.

     

    cheers swift i will get some to try then. i could try 55 grain game heads and 60 grain nostler partitions]

    but these hornady bullets are cheap. and i would think they would do the same job

  3. free floated barrels often aid accuracy. because if there isn't anything touching the barrel. so there is nothing to affect harmonics

    but some rifles are pressure bedded and floating them can cock up accuracy.

     

    i dont know about the older rifles like yours and im sure someone will be along to tell you.

     

    if it shoots well and your getting good accuracy.i would leave well alone

  4. hi has anyone used the hornady 60 grain softpoints in there 223 or 22/250.

     

    of course in the 22/250 you need a 12 twist as most 1 in 14 twists wont shoot anything above 55 grain bullets.

     

    reason i ask im looking at trying some for the muntjac and wanted to know if anyone uses them and how you find them ?

     

    all though there cheap the bc doesn't look to bad. and I would think they would be a lot more suited to the small deer.

  5. hi mate what profile is the barrel ?

     

    you could get some of these http://www.jjkshootingsupplies.co.uk/products/burris-2-piece-xtreme-scope-base-sako-to-weaverpicatinny/767/

     

    and then get some weaver style rings to suite your scope hight. depending on barrel profile. i would still say you will need high

    if you go down this route. best thing about this is you can then but which ever 34mm rings you want. i would look at the tps rings there superb.

     

    i have just got some of these bases to fit weaver style rings on my m695 tikka. and I much prefer them to the optiloc rings and bases.

  6. Purchased the Zeiss 8x56T ir this morning,ex demo only been to two shows complete with box and full warranty,should arrive tommorow,hopefuly get it on and zeroed this week,
